cheers Loretta (hell...Hope you can't see any cobwebs )

Nice pots Loretta, that large one is going to take some tree to fill.

P.S. the cobwebs hardly show at all - until you enlarge the photo

Nice pots loretta
I can see a large fig with lots of aerial roots in the big one

Yes Ken, it's a toss up between a fig and a boug, haven't decided yet.

I have about 3 tonne of copper sitting at work. I know it's expensive, but try cart 3 tonne of copper to your local scrap yard. It normally pays for our work functions and so forth. I don't work n the family business any more, but if we can use electrical cable as suitable means to bend then it'll save me quite a lot of money as I wouldn't need much.

Does it have to be treated or what has to be done for it to be a suitable means of use?

Hi Leevers,
Just look at the posts that Tman and Graeme entered earlier in this post...they explain how to treat the wire.
cheers LORETTA

[ I know this SHOULD be common knowledge but.. as you have scored copper wire and have purchased aluminium before, do not use the different wires on the same tree as it is very harmful to the tree.

I'm in the learning stages so this is very helpful knowledge.
